The Eagle has Landed!

as in...
WE HAVE A BABY!
January 25, 2007 at 6:36 pm a new soul entered our world.
My girl... yes! My girl, did it in about 4 hours, even surprising the midwives and doula!
She went into birthing mode and let her body do the work... well... you know...
She did the work along with Seamus' help, of course, but she allowed her body to lead the way.
And I was so proud of her.
What a miracle to witness.
Both Cliff and I were honored to meet our newest grandson upon his entering the outer world.
Mother Earth welcomes Seamus McCune Smith Blau.
Bravo to MamaBear, PapaBear and son Seamus. A new "Elfette".
The midwives were awesomely earthy women.
The doula was gentle and guiding the entire time.
Me? The gofer... And it was my pleasure.
I am gratefully tired, at 12:57 am on the second day of Seamus' life.
More tomorrow...
time for sleep.
